[[File:vinewhip.jpg|thumb|left|Vine Whip used as a tether recovery.]] | |||
Ivysaur lashes a vine from its flower, which functions as both an attack and a [[tether recovery]]. | |||
On the ground, Vine Whip hits at a forty-five degree angle in front of and above Ivysaur, with a powerful sweetspot at the end of the whip. In the air, in addition to granting Ivysaur a little height Vine Whip gains a deceptively long range, capable of nabbing the edge with a length far beyond the ground-based Vine Whip. | |||
Like Olimar's [[Pikmin Chain]], Vine Whip will cause [[helplessness]] if used in the air. If left hanging on its vine for long enough, Ivysaur will panic & automatically retract to the ledge. Unfortunately, Ivysaur can easily be [[edgehog]]ged while attempting to use the Vine Whip to recover. | Like Olimar's [[Pikmin Chain]], Vine Whip will cause [[helplessness]] if used in the air.

However, the sweetspot is still considered a [[grass]] attack and not an [[electric]] attack: this unusual sound was likely chosen to simulate more closely the cracking sound of an actual whip, especially one striking an object. | ||
*If used from far enough away, grabbing the front end of the Pirate Ship will cause Ivysaur to swing into the hull of the ship, which will deal 10% damage to Ivysaur and [[meteor smash]] it, resulting in a guaranteed [[self-destruct]]. | *If used from far enough away, grabbing the front end of the Pirate Ship will cause Ivysaur to swing into the hull of the ship, which will deal 10% damage to Ivysaur and [[meteor smash]] it, resulting in a guaranteed [[self-destruct]]. | ||
